S3:EP43 | Perfectionism: A Strength or a Nurtured Sin?


Listen Later

In this episode, host Arlenys Buckelew delves into the sin of perfectionism, inspired by a thought-provoking discussion from Darrell Harrison and Virgil Walker on the Just Thinking Podcast. Arlenys shares how perfectionism has subtly crept into her own life—through social media comparisons, job interviews, and personal relationships—resulting in self-focus, anxiety, and a neglected spiritual walk. 


Drawing from Darrell Harrison's episode "A Biblical Response to Perfectionism," she explores the five commandments of the perfectionist: self-worship, unrealistic standards, reluctance to accept help, criticalness, and a constant craving for others' approval. 


Arlenys invites listeners to abandon the futile pursuit of personal perfection and instead embrace Christ's perfect work and the process of sanctification. 


Don’t miss this heartfelt reflection on finding freedom from perfectionism in the gospel.
